173:"This George, the youngest son of Arthur Gore of Newtowngore, Baronet, was on account of his services to his country – lately in peril – appointed Attorney General by George, then happily entering upon his reign. His health being unequal to the discharge of this office, he was advanced to the Court of Common Pleas, and for 25 years performed the part of a most prudent and incorrupt judge, at length having retired A.D. 1745. His entire old age was spent in cultivating and adorning these lands he obtained as a dowry, always his delight. Borne down by years, he departed this life A.D. 1753 in the 79th year of his age."
168:"Sacred to the memory of George Gore and Bridget, his wife. She was an heiress to Henry Sankey of Tennelick who, having acted with energy on the side of the King when civil war had raged, obtained the lands which you see lying around as the reward of his military valour. Being in no less favour with the people than with the prince, supported by the suffrages of this very body, he was elected in the first parliament which Charles II appointed. When Bridget had given birth to eight children, she left behind a mournful loss, 13 September 1727, aged 39 years."
178:"Here lies Arthur, having survived his father a short time only, who, labouring with almost incessant asthma, died A.D. 1758. Also here lies the only surviving daughter of these same George and Bridget – Bridget Harman, wife of the Dean of the Cathedral Church of Waterford, a woman adorned with some superior accomplishments during her life. She was most learned and deservedly most dear to her friends. Early, though not unprepared, removed by death 22 November 1762, scarcely 39 years of age, she departed never sufficiently to be lamented."

Elrington Ball believed that the reason for his failure to achieve promotion was quite simply his lack of legal ability: he was much loved by his friends, but none of them ever praised his judicial qualities. In the 1740s his health, which had never been good, failed, and he retired in 1745. The
